I want to thank Mr. fly for uploading so many of the United Features comics. I am on a personal quest to read every single Fritzi Ritz page that I can manage to glue my eyeballs to, and to that end freddyfly's efforts in uploading these comics has been a great boon to me.
It's very odd that certain of the Fritzi Ritz Sunday strips are actually Nancy strips in all but the title panel which says "Fritzi Ritz by Ernie Bushmiller" -- i.e., Fritzi does not appear in certain strips at all, the entire 1/2-page being devoted to Nancy's antics. I gather these are reprinted from the part of the strip's run just before Phil Fumble's strip was cancelled and replaced by Nancy's own self-titled Sunday strip (since they entirely disappear after the non-PD NANCY Sunday strips have been removed). So it's a little weird that Fritzi's strip is in public domain, even though some of those strips feature Nancy, and ONLY Nancy, as a character... but the title panel still says FRITZI RITZ. I don't know, I still think Phil Fumble got the better part of the deal, since he got to become Fritzi's steady boyfriend as a consolation for getting booted out of his own strip by a little kid.
Not to be disingenuous, but who wants to look at Nancy when you can look at Fritzi? Rrowr!!
